Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Club Atletico de Madrid gets underway.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Club Atletico de Madrid is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Villarreal CF seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' The travelling Club Atletico de Madrid supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 27' Marc Pubill is having his name booked by the referee on 27.
  • 30' Dani Parejo puts Villarreal CF on the lead.
  • 34' Goal! Ayoze Perez scores his 65 goal in 339 matches.
  • 39' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 39 minutes.
  • 40' Goal! Georges Mikautadze scores his 69 goal in 434 matches.
  • 43' What a strike from Marc Pubill! The score is 3-1.
  • 45' Goal! Pape Gueye scores his 10 goal in 428 matches.
  • 50' Club Atletico de Madrid is showing some good football. However, Club Atletico de Madrid are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 54' Ayoze Perez with the second goal in the match!
  • 59' Ademola Lookman has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 64' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 69' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Alfonso Pedraza suffering a number of foals already.
  • 74' Supporters expect more eagerness from Antoine Griezmann, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio de la Ceramica with 3 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 79' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Club Atletico de Madrid that had 523 games and scored 611 goals.
  • 84' Club Atletico de Madrid is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 89' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • Another three points for Villarreal CF.
